Then if the kine of their own accord took the cart to Bethshemesh, it would be known that it was the God of Israel who had plagued the land; but if they refused to go, then it might be chance which had done it. The Ark was placed in the cart, and the Spirit of the Lord came upon the kine.
'Well, you see, they usually cart them into the Board Room, I believe, only this time the governors were going to have a meeting there. They couldn't very well meet in a room with the table all covered with silver pots. 'Don't see why. 'Well, I suppose they could, really, but some of the governors are fairly nuts on strict form.
I can stand a week, perhaps a fortnight of this now. But I don't care for it for any long period. At the bottom of this high and steep hill is the quaintest little town I ever saw. There are some streets so narrow that when a donkey cart comes along the urchins all have to run to the next corner or into doors.
"Don't be such a donkey, Beauty!" laughed the Seraph, while his charger threatened to passage into an oyster cart. "You don't appreciate the majesty of great plans," rejoined Beauty reprovingly.

"Who told you where I am going?" she asked, scarcely knowing whether to laugh or let loose her indignation. "Your father, Carillonnette."

Mrs. Meeker came and peered over the side of the cart, shaking her head dubiously. "Looks like to me she'd never open her eyes again." Pancha was pierced with an angry resentment.

"Well," said Jonas, "I will tell you some time, but now I must go away with the cart." Jonas had been harnessing the horse into the cart, in the yard, while Rollo had been talking with him, and now was about ready to go away.
The one we obtained had not been in the shafts for more than two years and was badly frightened when we brought him near the cart. It was a liberal education to see our Mongol handle that horse!
